Plot[]
Fan introduces the viewers, big and small, to the "game show edition" of his show. He then requests Test Tube to sing the "theme song", in which she mumbles a little tune, much to his delight. Fan wishes that there were more people to watch his show, but thanks to Test Tube's device, she spawns twelve, alternate reality audience members, who applaud for them. Fan then asks if she already erased them from existence, but she claims that she didn't, due to the "multiverse theory" creating a nearly identical one. She explains that the only difference is that it smells 6% more like cinnamon. Suddenly, a contestant from a certain season pops up and tells them that even though they don't smell like cinnamon, he would get over it. Just then, an impatient Trophy shouts at the "cinna-morons" to hurry up, cause his biceps have evaporated. Fan introduces the guest and compliments them for being, "fierce, strong, and eliminated far too early", which makes Trophy assume it's for him, but it's actually for... Box. He welcomes her to the show and is happy to have her 'radiant presence'. Trophy tries to tell everyone "He's just a box", but Fan replies that he's a trophy, and that it's a visual medium. A frazzled Trophy claims that they're all 'blind' and that he is unable to compete, shocking the audience, and Fan himself. Two members appear next to the desk and ask if they can play in the challenge. Fan then asks what they can do, in which they both perform a "very exciting, complicated, & super fast" handshake, and convinces him to let the duo join. Later on, Fan tells Trophy that him and Box will also be on a team together, which annoys Trophy a bit. Fan simply tells him that Box will have to "carry the team". Beaming with confidence, Clip claims that the rival team won't stop them, and TP states that, "they could use a hand... shake!". They perform their handshake a second time and Trophy punches Box to the floor. Fan explains the contest, in which they'll have to answer some questions, and earn the most points. Fan starts the game, spins the wheel, and it lands on "Contestants' Private Life". (Don't ask him how he knows that). The first question is, "Who does Box idolize the most?", and Trophy answers with, "Nobody", noting that she's still just a box. Clip and TP steal the point by answering, "Box", and that she perfects Trophy's exercise equipment, confusing him. Trophy murmers that he hates this challenge but says that he and Box are gonna win. The next few 'questions' are stated/answered...
- A: The Dead Recap (CLIP & TP)
- A: Pickle Saxophone (TROPHY & BOX)
- A: MePhone5S & 5C (CLIP & TP)
- A: Cheesy's Canceled Tour (TROPHY & BOX)
- A: Any Color EXCEPT Green (CLIP & TP)
- A: The Prime "Shamer" (TROPHY & BOX)
- A: Cliff Jumping (CLIP & TP)
- A: Fire Everywhere (CLIP & TP)
- A: Involuntary Silence (TROPHY & BOX)
After their last question, he realizes how Box feels for not speaking, which gives their team "bonus points". Finally, the physical part of the challenge, (consisting of a kiddie pool and a tight rope), and Fan chooses Clip and Box to compete. Trophy states that it isn't fair, since Box can't swim, but tells him to intimidate the other team, and eventually "crosses" the tight rope. With 2,000 points earned, team Cinnamon-Finity win "Inanimate Insanity". Trophy realizes that Box won the challenge and asks if it's worth anything, but Fan claims it's only earned them HALF a point, considering the fact they had a kiddie pool. Clip and TP do one finally handshake, making Trophy self-aware about the "sounds", and tells Box that "it will do...". TP says that she's just a box, which surprises Trophy, (stating that everyone else thinks that she's 'real), and begs to go with her. Fan tells the viewers to stay tuned, but Trophy says that "he won't", and lets Box stay to "read" the Patreon list instead.
